Meet our January Artist: Greg Best
Greg Best was born and raised in Dundas, Ontario and has lived his entire life in the Dundas and Ancaster area. His compositions are primarily watercolours, but has also attempted some projects with oil painting as well.
โ
He has been taking lessons at Picture Perfect Art in Dundas since 2003 and learned skills primarily from his art mentor and friend, Ivor Lynch.
โ
As well, he has taken courses at the Dundas Valley School of Art since 2005, learning from such teachers as Barry Coombs, Holly Sneath, William Biddle, and Susan Outlaw.โโ
For many years, Greg has participated in the Dundas Artisan Market in the Dundas Driving Park organized by June Lynch from Picture Perfect.
โ
His painting themes have varied over the years, but he mostly enjoys landscapes, wildlife, sports, and botanicals for his inspiration.
โ
The majority of his pieces favour realism versus abstraction. Some recent paintings however, favour an interest in monochromatic images. For the past few years he has enriched his love of the arts by working part time at McMaster Gallery in Dundas where he gets to enjoy the wonderful works of other local artists.
Art Gallery + Concert Space
The arts have been a long-held, integral, and energizing source of passion at St. James.
Each month, we feature a visual artist in the Art Gallery at St. James located in our brightly lit sanctuary.
โ
We have a passion for music, and proudly host organ recitals and other special concerts in the same space.
